It's like watching an episode of Faulty Towers, Watching James explaining to Skinny how the drain needs to be... Hilarious!!!😭😭

@The-Quinta Ай бұрын

Haha! Funny you say that because in next week’s video that we have already filmed, I say that. It gets funnier 😂😂

Maybe time to learn Portuguese James they have free lessons in the village 📖or use a translation app 😇💗💗💗

Skinny has his own way, looks like. As long as it works, i suppose.😂 I can't wait to see how the door works out. The bottom edge looked quite splintery. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

It’s pretty funny watching you and Skinny, hard to keep track of that man, what a worker though!

Skinny is a great helper! Very lucky to have him helping! 👍🏻

@alexday5892 Ай бұрын

I love your humbleness James. Skinny had his plan and you letting him go with it was great to see. I was curious to know if a heat gun would have been effective on those old school doors ? That motion steadiness on the truck cam is pretty impressive. 🇦🇺🫶🏻🇬🇧

@The-Quinta 25 күн бұрын

Sometimes you just have to let it roll. Skinny definitely is a character. Cristina did revert to a heat gun in the end and it was much easier 👍🏻 Is it the camera or my steady driving 🤔😉

Hi Cristina and James, I love that door and cannot wait it see it finished. How did your salt in the pavers go for getting rid of the weeds? It is a method that we have used for many years. We just use ordinary table salt. Check out James, you, skinny and instructions re the drain, just hilarious. Lots of exciting things happening in your world, cannot wait till next video.

@The-Quinta 25 күн бұрын

Hi Elizabeth, the salt definitely has worked. Almost weed free! Skinny is a great worker and very funny. Many things going on, possibly to much, but we’ll get there. Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

Love your coveralls Cristina. Are you dealing with a lot of lead paint when you sand the old wooden pieces? James should draw a diagram on paper. Skinny is a hard worker. It is funny as the ditch looks like it is going up and not down. Great grading job.

Hello Rosana, We don’t know anyone that does that job! Here in the Algarve, there are a lot of restrictions for boreholes, so I don’t ever know a company to recommend, sorry we can’t help 🤗

James, it's not easy for us older people to learn a foreign language, but don't you really speak a word of Portuguese? That's amazing considering that Christina can teach you word by word every day to a minimal degree.

I understand your frustration, but you need to talk to KZfaq about that. Seeing an advert every 1.5 minutes is excessive.
